Sheikah Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 ShopTo sent it yesterday...good old ShopTo. They always get it out quickly, cheaper than the rest usually and free recorded delivery? El bargaine.
Shorty Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 Sheikah knows where it's at. Pay attention people, shopto ftw. (I haven't even ordered it, I just wanted to point that out)
not_so_tiny Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 Please tell me you two don't have an xbox already before buying this new red one! I'm replacing my old broken one. I would have sent it off, but I came into some money thanks to work and decided to treat myself (I was going to get an Elite eventually anyway) and I couldn't resist the redness.
nekunando Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 GameCentral (Teletext C4 p.690) have their review up today and gave Resident Evil 5 7/10
Hero-of-Time Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 I played the demo last night again just to get into the mood and after playing Alone in the Dark the controls for R Evil feel perfect Game have also dispatched my copy, being at work til 2pm will be a nightmare

Why not get the old one repaired and sell it anyway? :/

(I haven't even ordered it, I just wanted to point that out) Shopto.net sent mine yesterday so shud arrive tomorrow. Been building the hype back up by watching the retrospectives on Gametrailers. Maybe playing the demo again will shoot it through the roof. Ah well, not much longer. 10charrrrrrrrrrrr
jayseven Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 Please tell me you two don't have an xbox already before buying this new red one! Flatmate (Shorty^) has one already, and I was going to get one for when we have the operation and go our separate ways in a couple of months - and yes, the redness won me over. £100 over what I could be paying. Doh. I don't really understand why they spend 3 days 'picking and packing'. I don't even know what that means... But I'm sure it'll arrive friday, at the latest. I will then proceed to spend all weekend trying to hook it up to my TV/finding cables to play two-screen co-op shizzle. Secondary worry; I don't want to get any achievements on my new xbox, because my entire gamer profile is on Shorty's. lol.
not_so_tiny Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 Got my confirmation email from GAME, it's on it's way! Cannot wait.
Dante Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 Special DLC: Slayer: Plays very similar to Mercenaries, but with players competing against each other to get the highest score from kill infected souls and B.O.Ws. A handicap system helps the player with the lowest points by doubling the amount of points they are awarded (though this doesn't apply to combo bonuses). Time Bonus and Combo Bonus rules apply as before, with enemy types and item locations remaining the same (as in Mercenaries). If any player dies during a game, they lose points and will reappear elsewhere on the map to carry on playing (note: you may sometimes spawn in the heat of a battle, or next to a boss). There is no limit to the amount of times you can die, though you shouldn't expect much of a score if you do too often. Most players will encounter enemies on difficulty grade level 6 (Normal/Veteran), but the leading player must battle enemies on Grade level 10 (Pro level). There is a lot more, but it's involving statistics, and bonuses. Essentially, a Versus Mercenary mode. Survivors: This game variant is all about Player VS Player action. There are still aggressive creatures present, making the arenas more challenging, but their frequency has been reduced. Combos no longer play a role, as the points you score are directly received from dealing damage to other players. There are no points for killing monsters. You must also strive from taking any damage from the monsters yourself. Each player starts with just a basic firearm, with powerful weapons littered about the arena. Every map has different combinations of weapons, and you may wish to acquire weapons from bosses by killing them. Rest is statistics. Essentially a versus Mercenary mode, but with points coming from directly harming other players themselves. There are team versions of these modes, pitting 2V2 action. So, obvious what they are. - Army of One - Win 30 matches in Slayers. - Eye of the Tiger- Win 30 matches in Survivors. - The Team that slays together - Win 30 matches in Team Slayers. - We Will Survive - Win 30 matces in Team Survivors. - Keep the good times rolling - Chain a 20-defeated combo in Slayers. - It takes two to tango - Chain a 40-defeated combo in Team Slayers. - It's all about the points - Score at least 40,000 points in Survivors. - There is no "I" in team - Score at least 80,000 points in Team Survivors. - Let's get this party started! - Unlock all selectable characters in Versus. - Bring the Pain - Defeat 100 players using physical attacks in Versus.
Esequiel Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 Got a call from gamestation asking if i would like to pick up my new elite at midnight on thursday... i start work at like 2am so maybe.... if i can be bothered to get up early enough lol
Portlett Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 had a confirmation from game also, should be here 2moro morning......finally a reason to get up early!
Gio001 Posted March 12, 2009 Posted March 12, 2009 (edited) My resi 5 pre-order from Game is still held as a preorder. Think i'll cancel as it's not looking good for delivery tomorrow and if it miraculously does i usually don't get my post till after lunch anyway. (half a day off wasted) Edited March 12, 2009 by Gio001
DiemetriX Posted March 12, 2009 Posted March 12, 2009 Been playing the game a while now and It's great. Been playing it in co-op. On Hard (aka vetern). So far RE4 seems like a better game, but RE5 is slowly getting better. And the amount of extra things to do in this game sure kicks it up a notch.
S.C.G Posted March 12, 2009 Posted March 12, 2009 I'm really hoping that this arrived for me today, if not then *shrugs* tomorrow, but just would be nice...
chrizkerr2 Posted March 12, 2009 Posted March 12, 2009 I'm shocked since my copy has just arrived and I ordered from Play.com! Normally takes 3 - 5 days for an item to arrive, and they only sent it yesterday! But if my online buddy doesn't receive his today, I won't be playing mine anyways :P
Caris Posted March 12, 2009 Posted March 12, 2009 Agree with Diemetrix, not as good as 4 but still an amazing game. Can't wait for Rob to get in so we can do some Co-Op.
Zell Posted March 12, 2009 Posted March 12, 2009 Mine got dispatched today, can't wait! Though I'm kinda expecting it to be worse than RE4, wasn't too keen on the demo in all honesty.
Sheikah Posted March 12, 2009 Posted March 12, 2009 Got this in the post earlier; just got Fallout 3 yesterday which kind of makes it hard to chose! I'll no doubt be playing Resi though after I grab a quick snack...
Caris Posted March 12, 2009 Posted March 12, 2009 Mine got dispatched today, can't wait! Though I'm kinda expecting it to be worse than RE4, wasn't too keen on the demo in all honesty. If you like RE4 It's nigh on impossible not to love RE5 trust me
CoolFunkMan Posted March 12, 2009 Posted March 12, 2009 I know I said I'd avoid this thread until I completed RE5, but I got it through the post earlier, and just feel like posting some thoughts on it. I've got to the start of chapter 2-1, and it's brilliant so far! In my opinion it's on par with RE4 at the moment. The cutscenes are sublime and the action is relentless, I've actually died twice already! The enemies seem a lot more brutal than they were in RE4, and even moreso than the RE5 demo. I'm amazed by the ammount of unlockable content too, this'll deffinitely keep me occupied for a long while! However, the "History of Resident Evil" segments seem pretty pointless to add during loading screens, being as the game loads so fast. There's hardly any time to read them! I'm just thankful there's a library where you can read them at your own pace. But then I already know most of it anyway, though it's a good addition for anyone needing a recap. Also... ... I'm suprised at how quickly some of the characters have been offed in this game. Your informant, the blonde girl and the entirety of Alpha Team are already dead, and that's only in the first chapter! It doesn't annoy me, it's just a big suprise, since the trailers made them out to have bigger roles. And does anyone else feel that this game seems a tad MGS4-esque, or is it just me? Not that that's a bad thing, it's just something I've noticed.
Columnar Posted March 12, 2009 Posted March 12, 2009 I got my copy in the post this morning but can't play it because my 360 is currently on its way back to me from being repaired. My brother has his own 360 but is being a complete asshole and not letting me near his machine so looks like it'll be tomorrow (hopefully) til I can play it. Its killing me that its here in front of me and I can't give it a go!!!!

Its killing me that its here in front of me and I can't give it a go!!!! I'm sorry but that's more than a bit funny lol. Hopefully the wait should make the actual experience all that better. Still not too hyped for this really but it's probably sitting at home waiting for me right now.
Mundi Posted March 12, 2009 Posted March 12, 2009 WOOOOO just got dispatched from Amazon. Now to wait about half week to get to play it. I can do constructive things like counting the minutes until it gets here.
Oxigen_Waste Posted March 12, 2009 Posted March 12, 2009 You're all overeacting... and this is coming from a guy's who's favourite series is RE. And who's expectations aren't that high... (but has still preordered the damn thing)
